As shown in FIG. 1C, the first surface of the light-transmissive member 3 includes exposed portions A in which the light-diffusing agent 4 is exposed from the light-transmissive member 3 and covered portions B in which the light-transmissive member 3 covers the light-diffusing agent 4. The light-transmissive member 3 does not necessarily cover the whole light-diffusing agent 4.

The light-diffusing agent 4 is located at the first surface and/or near the first surface of the light-transmissive member 3 to allow the first surface of the light-transmissive member 3 to have irregularities. The light-transmissive member 3 is softer and more impact-resistant than the light-diffusing agent 4.

With this structure, the exposed portions A of the light-diffusing agent 4 is less likely to be damaged. In both of the exposed portions A and the covered portions B, at least a portion of the light-diffusing agent 4 is embedded in the light-transmissive member 3. With this structure, falling off or breakage of fine particles due to impact or the like is less likely to occur in the light-emitting device 100 according to the present embodiment than in a conventional light-emitting device in which fine particles are attached to the first surface of a silicone resin that has already been cured.
